Difference between A-99 and Imax 2000

How much of a difference is there between the A-99 and Imax 2000? Like what or how much difference in RX and TX is there between a 1/2 wave and 5/8 wave antenna? Is it noticable enough to warrant an antenna upgrade?

Cool. I guess I'll stick with the A-99 then. I've been talking all kinds of skip on it the last couple weeks.

If your A99 snaps and falls apart then upgrade. But I used a A99 forever and talked everywhere on it. The A99 is the best inexpensive antenna on the market. I remember when they came out and all us Big Stick guys switched over to the A99. You werent anyone unless you have a new A99! Now the words Big Stick mean something you get hit in the head with!
